How Do I Extend a Lockout Infinitely?

Anyone wanna give me a step-by-step retard proof how-to? From what I can see, after I've extended it once, all I can do is cancel the extension or let it expire. I don't see any option or way to extend it another week, but I know it's possible, as I have friends who do it.

Be careful -- my understanding, based on personal experience, is that even if you manually extend it every week, it's not possible to extend it "infinitely". Eventually the lockout just clears. I'm not sure if this only happens if you're not actively using the lockout (as in, killing at least one boss) for a while, or if it's just a certain amount of time, period, you can extend.

Once the week is over, the lockout will be "unextended" but will still be in the raid info tab, so you can just extend it again. Although lockouts tend to reset in major content patches/expansions.

So pretty much after extending it once I just let it "expire", and after the reset on Tuesday it'll be still to reactive on the raid tab?

Pretty sure that happens on patches or something. Although I heard if your realm gets merged it happens as well.

You need another char to "save" the ID. This can either be a char on another account of yours or a friend's.

Conventions:
- alt A: the one with the saved ID
- alt B: the alt with which you want to kill LK25hc

Prerequsite:
- Clear 11/12 10 man normal mode (it will not work with 10 man if you kill a single boss in hc!). Make sure alt A is present when you kill the 11th boss (Sindragosa).

Then each reset you can do the following:
- set raid difficulty of both alt A and and alt B to 25 normal mode
- open the raid tab of alt A and extend the 11/12 ID
- let alt A invite alt B into the group (no need to make it a raid)
- enter ICC with alt B, accept the 11/12 ID
- leave the group with alt A
- set raid difficutly to 25 hc on alt B
- proceed to kill LK25hc

I've been doing that for months, the lockout doesn't event get reset when patches hit. Oh, and you can use one saved ID to kill the LK25hc with multiple alts.

ill give you example with icc which players like to extend since you dont need to clear all boss on heroic in order to do lich king heroic
player 1 clear all boss up to lich king.
player 1 invite player 2 to party
player 2 invite player 1 alt to party.
player 1 alt can now enter icc and kill lich king on heroic.

2nd week
player 1 extend lockout and invite player 2
player 2 invite player 1 alt
player 1 alt can kill lichking again and so on.

only 1 requirement, the player you wanna kill heroic on need to have normal raid finished in order to switch to heroic
